Yes, Bill O'Rielly is a demagogue who reduces complex issues to oversimplified schemas that reinforce the self-satisfied prejudices of his audience. And this makes him different than Michael Moore... how?"
Anthony, perhaps you missed the part where Wil Wheaton says in the article, "He should know when Rush is full of shit the same way I know when Michael Moore is full of shit."
The difference between Moore and O'Reilly is that the left knows Moore is full of shit. The right pretends that Rush, O'Reilly and their ilk speak the truth, and parrot it as gospel. THAT'S the difference here, and it's scary.
